Man United fans sent a clear message to star striker Harry Kane following their disappointing draw away to Tottenham: we want you this summer.
Erik ten Hag‘s side looked to be in full control in the first half; with Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford earning them a 2-0 lead with a pair of equally impressive strikes, it looked as though Spurs were staring down the barrel of another damaging defeat after the 6-1 embarrassment against Newcastle.
With that narrative floating around even before the game, talk of Harry Kane finally leaving Spurs was once again at the forefront of many conversations among football fans, with Old Trafford long having been considered a potential destination.
One thing’s for sure, it’s a move that a lot of Unitedfans want, as they made clear with their chant directed towards Kane during the game: “we’ll see you in June”.
Manchester United fans singing “We’ll see you in June” to Harry Kane 👀
Started after a chorus of his usual chant from his home fans (“Harry Kane, he’s one of our own”), the Stretford Enders quickly turned the words to make their feelings known that he’d be more than welcome on the opposite team bus.

Moreover, this nudge from travelling Reds came in the middle of the game when ten Hag’s team were still leading and while the message may have started out as, ‘leave this sticky situation for a club that look to be back on the up’, Kane’s part in the two equalisers only made their case for signing him even stronger.
After swinging at a shot that saw the rebound fall to Pedro Porro’s wonderful outside-of-the-boot finish into the top right corner, Kane also directly set up Heung-min Son with a ball across the box to assist him once again (the pair now holding the record for the most goal combinations in the Premier League).

While ten Hag criticised his players after the game, saying that “the goals [and the two points] we conceded we’re so easy and we could avoid them”, it once again showed how the England captain can help change games, even when it isn’t him on the scoresheet.
Either way, the discussion around whether this upcoming transfer window will finally be the one where Kane decides to leave his boyhood club in search of silverware looks to drawing towards an inevitable conclusion — the consensus being that it’s ‘now or never’, especially at this stage in his career.
Furthermore, with the Prem’s all-time top scorer record firmly in his sights and clearly on a list of things he wants to achieve as a player, pundits and football fans alike can’t see the 29-year-old playing anywhere other than England until it’s his, and many think United is now the only real option for him.

The Red Devils might have been linked with the likes of Victor Osimhen and others, but if the fans chants are anything to go by, they know what they want: to see Harry Kane in a United shirt come June.

Corey Blackett-Taylor ruled out injured for the rest of the season

Bolton Wanderers winger Corey Blackett-Taylor has been ruled out for the rest of the season following injury.
With not that long left in this year’s campaign and the playoff scrap set to ramp up even further in the coming weeks, it’s an unfortunate twist of fate for the Trotters.
Despite still being only a relatively recent signing, having just joined Bolton in the most recent January transfer window, it didn’t take long for him to make a good impression.
Scoring on debut in a 1-0 away win against AFC Wimbledon, the 28-year-old is now set to miss the remainder of the 2025/26 term, letting supporters know the news on Friday, 27 March.
Blackett-Taylor was forced off in the game against Rotherham United after pulling up in the wake of taking a shot, ultimately being subbed in the first half.
It was quickly confirmed to be a thigh injury, and while the specific nature and severity of the damage haven’t been fully detailed, he has now informed fans that his season is over.
Writing on Instagram, he said: “Instantly from arriving at the club, I felt the passion and support from the fans, club, staff and players.
“I have no doubts [about] the club achieving their targets of promotion – I want to say a huge thank you for making me feel so welcomed and comfortable. Unfortunately, my season is concluded due to my injury, but I’ll be here supporting the team to the very end.”
He isn’t the only impactful League One player at a side eyeing up the Championship to have been hampered by setbacks on the physio bench, with rivals Stockport County also confirming an absence at this crucial point in the campaign.
Not ideal for either of the Greater Manchester hopefuls.
Once again, while the recovery period for both of these players has already begun, the exact timelines for their return remain to be seen.
That being said, chances are we’ll see the Derby County loanee back in action before Hills, though we’ll have to wait to find out whether it will be at the Toughsheet Stadium or back with his parent club.
Who do you think is going to clinch that third promotion place at Wembley come this May?
